Thomas puts a Big Hurt on the White Sox

• You have probably forgotten that The Hurt started the season with a pathetic 21-for-118. At the end of the May 20 game, his season's nadir, he was hitting .178, slugging .373. He sat out the next game, then started the season for real with two dingers. Steadily gathering momentum, he hit .333 in August, and is hitting .345 so far in September, with a slugging average of .818
